Notes

  1. £POA (Price on Application) indicates that a fee will be calculated on a case by case basis, based on a schedule of hourly rates published by the Council and updated annually.

    As at 1st April 2020 those hourly rates are as follows:.

    County Council Ecologist: £55 per hour.

    Planner: £60 per hour.

    Senior Planner/Principal Tree Officer/Conservation Planner: £75 per hour.

    Urban Designer: £80 per hour.

    Affordable Housing: £85 per hour.

    Principal Planner: £90 per hour.

    Head of Service: £115 per hour.

    Where the £POA applies, please email devcontrol@fareham.gov.uk with details of your proposal and the issues you would like the Council to provide advice on. The Council will then advise you what the fee for undertaking the work will be and agree this with you before any work is carried out.
     
  2. Where advice is sought in relation to mixed use proposals, the fee for each element of the scheme should be calculated using the table above and then added together.
     
  3. Where advice is required from external consultants or consultees to whom a payment must be made, the applicant will be expected to meet these costs and they will be in addition to the pre-application advice fee set out above.
